Oh my! One hour drive to get somewhere is unrealistic? We dang near go that far to feed the dawg! All kidding aside, people here drive an hour one way to work all the time, that’s if the traffic isn’t bad. To drive an hour, even two, just to go out to eat or go shopping is the normal, everybody does it. (And the highways are packed with some crazy drivers too!)

So now I’m wondering if my 3.3Amp blue laser will burn anodizing (I don’t know it’s wattage, 2 Li-ion cells at 3.3A should have it around 20 Watts, yes?)… it very quickly burns most things I’ve had in front of it.

(Reminding myself to heal before trying anything else dangerous.)

ahh, you dont know about my city traffic, do you?
traffic jam, everyday, everywhere(1 hour for 10-15km travelling)
if you can test your laser burn anodizing, i would appreciate it

Anyone know of any of the Chinese vendors that have GA“s in stock ?
I have checked Aliexpress, BG, GB & Everbuying & none have any listed ?
Nkon, the european supplier, also doesn“t have any listed.
Failing that I think that Neal posted a while ago that he could supply 8 cells with each purchased GT ?
Any idea what the cells are & the price please anyone ?

i bought some GA’s from an alibaba seller 3 months ago. about US$3.80 a piece and no minimum qty required i think. you might like to try alibaba since their vendors tend to accept Paypal as well anyway.

some guy on here got his tn 42 over a mill lux
that reflector is about half the size of this gt
just sayin…….

That is with am XPG2 and only 850 lumen. The GT will throw a more usable beam for sure. I hope that it actually gets to 1.2k lux to justify the size of the light. I am sure that modders will get well past that mark very quickly.

89 is half of 118? Must be some Chicago math in there somewhere… just sayin.

When I swapped in an XHP-35 over the de-domed XM-L2 U4 in the Maxtoch Shooter 2X, the throw stayed pretty constant but the size of the spot nearly doubled as did the lumens. I’d much rather have the larger spot and double brightness to be able to make out something long range than the small pencil beam you can’t even decipher with a scope.

Great to get light so far downrange, not so easy to find actual uses for it other than bragging rights on paper.

Oh gosh I SO hope there is no hype and people do thinfs based on real Info, it is one of the prime reasons to show the whole process and not do things like teasers .
We try to post info ASAP and clear, being open about flaws as well as the good stuff.

You’re doing this the right way and I for one really appreciate it. Good man!
